Key• Key indicates how many items each

symbol stands for.

Example- Each key ● (symbol) represents 3 students.

Important Tips• In Pictographs, one symbol can indicate

only one item.• To find the total number of items, add the

number of all the items.


Model PictographStep 1: Write the title at the top of the

graph. Write a label for each row.Step 2: List the items.Step 3: Use symbols to represent equal

number of items.Step 4: Use a key to tell the number each

symbol represent.
